Tornado outbreak of March 3, 2019
This section was unused because it was deemed unnecessary and was missing some data.

Tuskegee–Beauregard, Alabama
This low-end EF2 tornado touched down in the Mt. Andrew community, along County Road 67 (Morgan Russel Road), about 4 mi south of Tuskegee. It caused mainly light EF0-level tree damage as it moved eastward and paralleled County Road 67 and then crossed County Road 45 (Gautier Street). The tornado then turned northeastward and strengthened significantly to peak intensity as it approached the concurrent US 29 and SR 15. Several stands of trees were completely mowed down, with none left standing. Many thousands of trees were downed in and near this spot. Damage here was rated low-end EF2. The tornado then weakened to EF1 intensity and crossed County Road 10, Red Road, and County Road 71. This portion saw hundreds of trees downed. The tornado then moved through several rural communities as it moved across County Road 24, Fitzpatrick Road and County Road 91, where numerous trees were downed, several homes suffered varying degrees of roof damage, a few outbuildings were destroyed, and a farm irrigation system was damaged. As the tornado moved across US 80/SR 8 and County Road 43 north of Society Hill and into Lee County, it roughly paralleled the path of the previous EF4 tornado, about a mile or so to the south. At some points, the path of this tornado was as close as 0.4 mi away from the EF4 tornado's path. The tornado continued somewhat erratically northeastward damaging trees, homes, and mobile homes at EF1 strength as it crossed County Road 29, County Road 11, and Cave Mill Road. Similar damage occurred as the tornado crossed SR 51 (Marvyn Parkway) in Dupree and County Road 166 in Watoola. It then moved through a community of mobile homes, rolling two of them and injuring one person. Numerous trees to the northeast were snapped before the tornado narrowed and dissipated near County Road 170.

The tornado damage path was 29.07 mi long and was 1300 yd wide at its widest point. One person was injured. The rotation was embedded within the squall line that followed behind the supercell that spawned the initial Lee County EF4.

Savannah River Site–White Pond–Springfield–Neeses, South Carolina
This intense, long-tracked tornado first touched down at 5:21 am EDT in Aiken County near the Savannah River Site southeast of Jackson. It moved northeast and quickly reached low-end EF3 intensity within the site as many trees were heavily damaged. The tornado then exited the site and moved into rural areas southwest of Williston, crossing US 278 and Jaywood Road while still at low-end EF3 intensity. A brick house was significantly damaged, a cinder-block workshop building and a vacant cinder-block store were completely destroyed, and a metal automotive service building had its roof and multiple exterior walls ripped off. Every tree in this area was snapped, with some being partially debarked, and a mobile home along Cherry Tree Road was shifted 6-10 feet of its foundation. The tornado then moved northeast along SC 781 approaching US 78, destroying a brick shed and ripping most of the roof off a house, leveling a manufactured home, and mowing down another large swath of trees. The tornado weakened slightly, but remained strong as it crossed US 78 while moving directly through White Pond at EF2 intensity. A business in the area had most of its roof ripped off as well as an exterior wall collapse. The tornado weakened, but continued to snap or uproot countless amounts of trees as it moved into Barnwell County at EF1 intensity before crossing Davis Bridge Road and Edisto Church Road. The tornado briefly weakened to EF0 intensity as it moved into Orangeburg County before restrengthening and moving directly into Springfield at EF1 strength. Many large trees in the town were uprooted, some of which landed on homes as well as a church. Structures along SC 4 and SC 39 in the downtown area were damaged as well. The tornado began to weaken for good as it crossed SC 3 northeast of town and turned east-northeast, but then it moved into the vicinity of Fire Tower Road and Starwood Drive, which had just been hit by the 0943 UTC Livingston EF3 tornado two to three minutes earlier. Extensive roof and front porch damage occured to several homes along Fire Tower Road as a result despite the fact that the tornado was only at EF1 strength at the time. The tornado then blew down several more trees along SC 389, including one that fell on a house, before dissipating east of the highway just outside the town of Neeses at 6:03 am EDT. Damage in that area was rated EF0.

The tornado was on the ground 42 minutes, tracked 38.28 miles, had a maximum width of 800 yards and was given a rating of low-end EF3. Despite blowing down thousands of trees and occuring in the middle of of night, there were no fatalities or injuries from this tornado.

Elko–Neeses-Livingston–St. Matthews, South Carolina
This strong, long-tracked tornado first touched down at 5:41 am EDT in Barnwell County south of Elko along Orchard Road and SC 37. It quickly strengthened as it moved northeast and struck Long Branch at EF2 strength, causing widespread tree damage. Tree damage continued west of Farells Mills before the tornado snapped seven wooden power poles while crossing US 78 and Turkey Creek in between Reynold and Elko. The tornado weakened to EF1 strength, snapping more trees in small community of Walker before reintensifying and striking Whaley at EF2 strength. In this area, a brick home lost most of its roof, a pivot irrigation system was knocked over, and an anchored wood frame house and fifth wheel camper were destroyed with the destroyed home being tossed off its foundation. The tornado then crossed over SC 3 and Gardania Road, causing EF2-level tree damage. It then moved into Orangeburg County, snapping multiple power poles as it crossed SC 332. The tornado briefly weakened to EF1 strength again as it crossed SC 4. A house suffered a partial wall collapse here as well as roof damage and dozens of trees were snapped as the tornado turned north-northeast due to the influence of the 0921 UTC Savannah River Site EF3 tornado.

As the tornado crossed Fire Tower Road west of Neeses, it rapidly intensified and reached its peak intensity as it crossed SC 389 and impacted three anchored manufactured homes on Preserver Road as it moved through the west side of Livingston. All three were obliterated and swept away with their frames found hundred of yards away. Both fatalities occured at this location when their double-wide manufactured home was destroyed. Other manufactured homes were completely obliterated and swept away in this area and hundreds of trees were snapped, uprooted, and debarked. Damage here was rated low–end EF3. The tornado weakened slightly, but remained strong as it abruptly turned due–east and struck the north side of Livingston at EF2 strength. Numerous homes, barns, and outbuildings were heavily damaged or destroyed as the tornado crossed US 321 and Dragstrip Road. Power poles were snapped and dozens of trees were blown down as well. The tornado began to steadily weaken after that, crossing US 178 and passing near Wolfton into Calhoun County before lifting at 6:17 am EDT near Interstate 26, well west-southwest of St. Matthews.

The tornado was on the ground for 34 minutes, tracked 36.9 miles, reached a peak width of 770 yards, and was rated low-end EF3. As with the other EF3+ tornadoes in South Carolina, thousands of trees were snapped or blown down. Along with the two fatalities, at least seven people were injured. This tornado was also notable in the fact that it absorbed the circulations of the 0921 and 0933 UTC EF3 tornadoes near Elko and Livingston respectfully.

Madill, Oklahoma
This high-end EF2 tornado first touched down at 4:53 p.m. CDT (21:53 UTC) in Marshall County south-southwest of Oakland along SH-99C and west of Breezy Hill Road. The tornado immediately became strong upon touching down, inflicting EF2 damage to multiple steel, electrical poles. The tornado then moved east-northeast, damaging multiple barns, trees, and warehouses at EF0–EF1 strength. It then entered the southwest side of Madill, producing EF2 damage to multiple barns and outbuildings as well as wooden and steel power poles as it crossed the concurrent US 377 and SH-99 and into more populated areas of Madill. EF0 to EF1–level tree damage occurred as the tornado crossed Brush Creek Lane before the Holy Cross Catholic Church and a home along South Fifth Avenue were heavily damaged at EF2 strength. More trees were damaged at EF2 strength north of Smiley Road as the tornado tracked due-east toward US 70 south of Madill. Just before crossing the highway, it ripped a satellite dish off a cell tower and damaged multiple homes along Oak Hollow Road, as well as vehicles and power lines. Damage here was rated EF0–EF1. It then crossed US 70, kicking up a huge amount of dust and dirt before striking the Oklahoma Steel & Wire manufacturing facility, which was severely damaged. The tornado then turned east-southeast and struck the southern portion of the neighboring Mid American Steel & Wire manufacturing facility, which was also heavily damaged. Wooden power poles were damaged as well. Damage throughout the facilities was rated EF1–EF2. The tornado then crossed Smiley Road southeast of Madill, and struck a small community near its intersection with Whiskey Creek Road. Homes were damaged, a mobile home was obliterated, and the M & R Wire Works was damaged in this area with damage here rated EF0–EF2 strength. The tornado then quickly weakened and roped out at 5:05 p.m. CDT (22:05 UTC).

The tornado was on the ground for 12 minutes and tracked 4.25 mi. Two people were killed and an unknown number of people were injured. This tornado was also very photogenic and a rainbow was seen near it by multiple storm chasers as it dissipated.

Allendale–Sycamore, South Carolina
A rapidly developing supercell produced this large wedge tornado that touched down southwest of Allendale west of Bluff Road, snapping trees at EF1 intensity. It quickly intensified as it moved northeastward and reached its peak intensity of low-end EF3 as it crossed Fitts Road. A mobile home was obliterated in this area with debris blown into a field behind where it stood. A second mobile home along St. Mark Road was also obliterated with debris from the structure blown into nearby trees. One person was injured at this location. A tornado emergency was then issued for Allendale, Sycamore and Seigling as the tornado continued to the northeast as a large debris signature showed up on radar as well as several reports of a large wedge tornado on the ground. The tornado then weakened to low-end EF2 intensity as it knocked down numerous trees and several power poles and lines. As it crossed U.S. 278 just east of Allendale, it re-intensified to high-end EF2 status, destroying a large block and steel construction warehouse. The tornado weakened again, but remained at low-end EF2 intensity as it snapped numerous trees along SC 641. It then weakened to high-end EF1 intensity as it moved through Sycamore, downing more trees and causing minor structural damage before dissipating on the northeast side of town.
